My understanding seems to match everything you said. Time Machine keeps backups at the intervals Apple has specified, consolidating them into daily, weekly, monthly as specified in the referenced documents. At some point the drive becomes full. That's when old stuff starts getting dropped.

I think you both are correct, but are arguing nuance details. Time Machine will make a new backup instance every time it runs, and create a duplicate of the last backup via hard links, which does not duplicate the data but only the drive's directory so the new backup "instance" points to the same data as the last. The only difference is that directory entries for changed files point to new "backed up" data for them as opposed to that from the prior backup instance. This paradigm is repeated until the drive is full, or until by Time Machine's default behavior hourly backup instances are removed.
Once the drive is full, then older instances of backups will be removed, and when the data on the drive is no longer pointed to by multiple hard links from the various backups remaining on the drive, then that data will be freed and allowed to be overwritten.
As a result, over time and with changes that fill the drive, older backups of changed files will eventually be turned over and eliminated from the drive. Their longevity on the drive depends on how you use your system and how many megabytes are regularly backed up. If you only back up a few MB per day (for whatever reason) then the TM backups will remain for a long time (especially if the TM drive is large). However, if you regularly edit a large 5-10GB movie file then regular backups of this will demand more from the TM drive and push other files off the drive, reducing backup instances that include them.

Lets say I have a 10tb drive for TM and I create a file on Monday and delete it on Thursday, how long will that file be in the backups?

Time Machine keeps hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups until your backup drive is full.
Again it is only weekly's that are affected by drive size. Hourly's are gone after the day they were written and daily's only go back a month regardless of drive size.iMac, OS X Mountain Lion, Aperture 3.4.1

Trick question I guess, in that the drive size is irrelevant; as I understand it the delete file will not make it into the next weekly backup. But that depends on when Time Machine makes that weekly backup.
And I guess I was wrong earlier when I mentioned monthly backups since there aren't monthly backups.

Again, its just these nuance details you're outlining. I never said anything to the opposite of these details, and there's nothing "dangerous" about how either Network 23 or I described it. Also keep in mind the backups are also revolving, so its not as if at 12:00am all of the previous day's backups are cleared out. Ultimately I think everyone here is adequately describing how it functions and has a good grasp on Time Machine's functions.

I too use Lightroom and migrating from a PC to MacBook Pro. I like the idea of my photos being set up on a separate internal drive. How do you do this? I am a new Mac user. Would appreciate your help.
I plan to use your backup method.

It's not a big deal, really. Because Lightroom doesn't care where the photos are stored. Lightroom can catalog them on any drive. My LR references photos on like 4 different internal/external/network drives. When I import into Lightroom, I tell it where I want the photos to go (on my other disk) using the automatic date folder format I set up in the Import dialog.
If you are moving Lightroom from a PC, I haven't done it but I think the steps are:
- Download the Mac version of Lightroom, install it, plug in your serial number to make it go (the serial is cross-platform)
- Copy the LR folder/catalog from wherever it is on your PC to whereever you want it to be on your Mac (maybe in the Pictures folder? Which is analogous to My Pictures in Windows). The catalog can live on your boot drive and track photos stored on other drives like your external.
- If your photos are stored apart from your LR folder, drag your photo folder over to wherever you want it to live on your Mac (your second drive?)
After that, when you first start Lightroom, it might not see the catalog that was on the PC. Navigate to where the catalog is now on your Mac, open it, make it the default. However, that catalog might not see your photos since it last saw them in a PC drive letter location that no longer applies. What you want to do is in the Folders panel go to the top level folder that is listed under the old drive letter. Right-click on that and choose Update Folder Location and tell it where that folder is now stored on your Mac. It should automatically find and relink to all folders under it in the hierarchy.
You can boil all that down to "Move your LR files to the Mac and then relink 'em."

My question is: how does Time Machine interact with iPhoto in the sense that my library seems to be a huge file. If I add some photos to it, does it back up the whole huge file again thinking that this huge file has changed, or is Time Machine smart enough to know that its really just an unnessarily complicated Apple created directory system of photos, and just back up the recent photos added to the Library file. The first obviously will chew through a back-up drive quickly (as my iPhoto library is about 75 GBs and growing). If it just adds the recently added/edited photos, then I don't care.

It's not really a file. You can right/command click and "Show package contents".
Currently Being ModeratedJan 22, 2013 9:00 PM (in response to etresoft)
Yes - but does Time Machine know that . . .
Actually, after I posted the above I remembered that I exclude my music and photo directories from Time Machine and back them up separately using Dropsync to duplicate the folders, because I wanted to be able to easily access these files directly in directory structures from multiple machines/operating systems etc - so its kind of a moot question for me (but it sounds like a valid question for many others who include their iPhoto libraries in their Time Machine backups).

I'm not sure if I am responding to this this thread properly or not. I am having an issue with time machine. I have an external seagate drive attached which i thought time machine was backing up to. After checking it it is not bacing up any new changes i make. i'm not sure what it is backing up. It seems to back up every hour but I'm not sure what it is backing up. Do I need to erase everything and start over? Any help would be appreciated!

The philosophy of data BACKUP (morphing and revolving, i.e. TM,...important point people dont understand in general)........... and a true ARCHIVE (cloned HD, multiple copies in safe places, secure places) ........is something EVERYONE should learn and differentiate.
Very important topic in this thread.
Never consider any computer a data storage device, rather a data creation ,sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake.
Never backup your data exclusively upon magnetic hard drives or flash storage, nor consider same since magnetic storage degrades over time even under ideal conditions.
Store important data on multiple servers on multiple continents.
Burn important data onto multiple copies of archival DVDs (Taiyo Yuden 100year rated DVD blanks) and store same in cool dark fireproof safes, multiple places.
Don't burn data onto junk DVD's purchased from consumer level electronics stores. These are not archival long life DVD's nor reliable, nor trustworthy
Most importantly know that 2 copies of your data is 1, and 1 is none, and 1000 copies stored in one place or building, is also the same as none.
Always consider and expect your computer's hard drive to completely crash anytime, at all times, and you should keep a cloned and updated hard drive handy at all times to return to immediate productivity and utterly avoid programs and parameter reinstallation and tweaking.
Nothing is quicker than taking out a dead HD and tossing in a new updated cloned HD for getting back to 100% in under 20 mins!
When your data is decentralized, it becomes both everywhere and nowhere, destructible by none.
Everyone should remember the rule 2 copies is 1, and 1 is NONE
And the computer itself never counts as one of those copies.

Ok .. Ive been using time machine for a year to backup system info and important data from a 2 TB Internal HD to a 2 TB External HD. I really only need the latest few backups ( I back up monthly ) as want to retain space on the external. Can anyone confirm the following points
1) will dat a be safe If i enter TM and delete oldest backups from the gear symbol so that i only have the last few months backup stored on HD.
2) Can TM drive also be used as a backup to another computer / to access fies occasionally or to drag - copy folders onto that system.
3)Can i store separate data on TM drive or does it need to be partitioned.
Any help with these points appreciated
Currently Being ModeratedMar 17, 2014 11:17 AM (in response to tom manley)
I know this is not strictly related to the question..but i thought i'd add it ..although it is a bit late.
I have started using NAS4Free...as the name suggests ..it is a Free NAS server system. but it has Apple File Sharing protocol./ service built in.
It is also capable in teh AFP service of instanly making any internal HDD, shared uder AFP, fully Time machine compatibel, with he simple action of a drop down box and selecting Time Machine Compatibility.
So all you do is find any old scrap Intel based Windows PC, d/load NAS4Free burn to a CD and install on to the target computer..overwriting the Windows OS. ..stick in a big HDD or two. I used a 4TB single HDD...£100 on Dabs in the UK at the moment. So i have a 4TB NAS for the cost of 1HDD and about 2 hours work.
I also fitted a gigabit network card and connected it directly to my Mac via the second ethernet port.
Advantage with this is that I can expand by adding extra HDD's with little or no hassle.

Are there any realties tests or criterias that prove the security of the PRNG? What kind of tests or criteria?
We currently have no way to prove that a specific PRNG is cryptographically secure. In fact, we currently cannot prove that there exists a cryptographically secure PRNG (!).
If you scale back the requirement from "mathematical proof" to "something we generally accept", there's still no way for an automated test to verify that a specific output is cryptographically secure. Yes, it can run a series of statistical tests, and verify that, from that perspective, it looks like what we expect a random stream to be. However, that is not sufficient; to be cryptographically secure, we require that someone cannot devise a clever test (using knowledge of how the PRNG works internally) that distinguishes it from random. The hard word (for an automated test) is the word "clever"; automated tests have great difficulties with "cleverness".
Here's a little thought expirement that demonstrates one of the subtleties; suppose I generate a PRNG using AES in counter mode; that is, I pick an initial 128-bit value $N$ and an AES key $k$, and produce the sequence:
If I pick $k$ and $N$ randomly, and keep them secret (and keep the number of outputs within the above sequence to significantly below $2^{64}$), then this is, as far as we know, a cryptographically secure PRNG.
However, suppose I do the same, but instead of picking $k$ randomly, I use a fixed public value. In that case, the sequence is known not to be a CSPRNG; it is easy to test (using two adjacent outputs), whether the output is from this specific PRNG.
Here's the point: publishing $k$ or keeping it secret does not actually change the output. However, even though it doesn't, it does change whether we have a CSPRNG or not.
So, going back to your question: we do have things that we believe are CSPRNG (such as the above AES counter mode with a secret key); why do we believe those? Well, that's because we have clever people (that is, people that have demonstrated skill in finding clever ways to break other CSPRNGs) analyze the PRNGs. It's not an ideal solution (it's possible that there is a way to break it, and our clever people missed it); however it's better than any other way we have.
The NIST special publication 800-90 series (NIST SP 800-90A, NIST SP 800-90B and NIST SP 800-90C) contain a set of PRNGs and tests for cryptographically secure PRNGs. Unfortunatelly, right now (13/10/2013) the NIST website is down, however you can find copies of the NIST statistical test suite via Google at sites like this one.
The best that can be done for a PRNG is to reduce the problem of distinguishing its outputs from random (or predicting them) to some believed-to-be-hard problem. A PRNG based on AES in counter mode can be proven to be as secure as AES in some sense. Similarly a PRNG based on a HMAC-SHA256 can be shown to be as secure as HMAC-SHA256. There are PRNGs based on both in SP 800-90.
A PRNG is deterministic, so it can't provide any security unless it has some secret internal state that is unknown and impractical for an attacker to guess. Even if the PRNG algorithm is secure, the whole PRNG is secure only if it is initialized with an unguessable seed.
As mentioned, most proofs of PRNG security are really proofs of a protocol that uses some underlying construct. The proofs say, "If the construct can't be broken, then the protocol that uses it can't be broken any easier than that." That makes all these proofs subject to the assumption that the underlying construct (like factoring, quadratic residuosity, etc.) is hard to break.
To address the last part of your question, PRNGs are evaluated in a number of different settings that are meant to mimic real-life attacks they face. Typically, this includes:
In each of these settings, algorithms are evaluated for their ability to:

Cheshire concede four times in second half against Runcorn Town
10:10am Tuesday 10th December 2013 in Sport
Runcorn Town 4 Cheshire League 0
AN experimental Cheshire Inter-League side featuring players from clubs across the county were defeated by North West Counties outfit Runcorn Town under the floodlights at Pavillions, Runcorn.
Despite a strong start by the Cheshire side, Runcorn eventually ran away with a rather flattering 4-0 victory.
The early exchanges were very scrappy, with neither side wanting to give much away.
Possession was kept to the middle third of the pitch, with Rob Hope doing his best for Cheshire to try and find some pockets of space to play in to.
The first shot on target came in the 12th minute from Runcorn, which tested the hands of Chris Jones in his bottom right corner, but he was equal to the test.
In the 21st minute, Cheshire had their first chance of the game.
A neat interchange of play on the left hand side between Nathan Williams and PJ Hudson set up Williams in the box but he was closed down quickly by Runcorn 'keeper Karl Wills before he could get a clean strike away.
Cheshire created themselves a bit more space on the left hand side in the 36th minute, this time through Jimmy Daniels whose neat footwork took him past one man, but once in the area, he couldn't find the space to dig out a cross.
A Runcorn cross cleared off the Cheshire line by left-back Jake Linaker in the 41st minute led to a counter attack that saw Joe Jennings pick out Williams with a cross that saw a smart save from Wills.
Cheshire made three changes at half time but the first real chance of the half came in the 48th minute to Jimmy Daniels, who found his 25-yard volley well saved by Wills to his left hand side.
From that chance, Runcorn broke away. Burton's strike from the edge of the Cheshire area was deflected over, and Grant then found half a yard for the home side in the box but headed over from the resulting corner.
Cheshire's best chance came in the 53rd minute when they got themselves a man over on the right hand side, but when unchallenged, Jackson fired well over the bar.
The scoring was opened in the 56th minute, Cheshire failing to clear a bouncing ball in their own area and Carey's shot taking a massive deflection off McKay before rolling past the onlooking Chris Jones, who had already dove the other way.
Runcorn doubled their lead in the 62nd minute when substitute Derbyshire pounced on another bouncing ball in the Cheshire area, which somehow found a way through Jones in goal.
The game was sealed in the 70th minute. Cheshire substitute Alex Lowe dove in to challenge Andy Potter, who went down under the tackle. Carey fired the resulting penalty to Jones' right hand side, giving him no chance of saving.
The best goal of the game was Runcorn's fourth, which came in the 78th minute. A sharp interchange of play by Runcorn found a way around Everall and Lowe, and the accurate cross found Derbyshire arriving late in the area to make it 4-0.
Cheshire had one final chance to get on the score sheet in the 86th minute, when Lowe was fouled 20 yards out, but Daniels could only fire the free kick well over the bar.
Runcorn Town: Wills, Lester, Toone, Duckworth, Jones, Spearritt, Shanley, McShane, Grant, Potter, Haughton Subs – Keddie, Kinsey, Burton, Derbyshire, Carey, Glover.
Cheshire: Jones, McKay, Linaker, Alcock, Coleman, Daniels, Jackson, Hope, Jennings, Hudson, Williams Subs – Everall, Lowe, Quirk, McAllister, Higgs.

Google removed more than 350 million bad ads in 2013, up from about 220 million the year before, almost 1 million suspect ads a day. The increase was partly driven by the surge in online advertising, most of which is legitimate. But as Google introduces products, scammers adapt and develop new ways to game the system. "It's a challenge," says Mike Hochberg, ads engineering director who oversees hundreds of engineers and policy experts who focus on this at the company. "Google continues to add new types of ads and formats all the time, and that creates new work to track down new ways of creating bad ads."
Google's online ad business has become so lucrative, generating billions of dollars a year in profit for itself and its partners, that the company's platforms, such as AdWords and AdSense, are a huge draw for what it calls "bad actors" looking to grab some of this money.
In 2011, Google agreed to pay $500 million to settle Justice Department allegations that ads for Canadian online pharmacies contributed to illegal importation of prescription drugs. Last year, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood said Google was still allowing ads for illegal online pharmacies that sell dangerous or counterfeit drugs without a prescription.
Google published a scorecard on its battle against such activity for the first time in early 2013; the company is releasing the second report today.
Hochberg says the reports and Google's increased efforts to limit bad ads and online scams were not related to the counterfeiting settlement. "Ensuring that we are serving good ads for users has been part of our ad programs from day one," he says. "Last year, we decided to put out a pseudo scorecard of what we have been doing."
The latest report suggests Google is making progress. The number of advertisers Google disabled dropped from more than 850,000 in 2012 to slightly more than 270,000 in 2013.
"We attribute this decline to many scammers -- counterfeiters, for example -- being thwarted by our security efforts," Hochberg says.
Google banned slightly more than 14,000 advertisers for trying to sell counterfeit goods in 2013, a decline of more than 80% compared with 2012. Again, Hochberg cited Google's increased efforts to stop such activity. (continued...)

Regina Spektor (born Regina Ilyinichna Spektor on 18 February 18 1980 in Moscow) is a Russian-born American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered on New York City's East Village. Spektor studied classical piano from the age of six, practising on a Petrof piano given to her mother by her grandfather. She was also exposed to the music of rock and roll bands such as The Beatles, Queen, and The Moody Blues by her father, who obtained such recordings in Eastern Europe and traded cassettes with friends in the Soviet Union. The family left the Soviet Union in 1989, when Regina was nine, during the period of Perestroika when Jewish citizens were permitted to emigrate. The seriousness of her piano studies led her parents to consider not leaving Russia, but they finally decided to emigrate, for religious and political reasons. Travelling first to Austria and then Italy, the family settled in the Bronx, New York, United States where Spektor ... Read More

Give a very special holiday gift at a very special discounted price. All diamond stud earrings and tennis bracelets are 30% off original prices.
They BUY GOLD! – I had no idea what to do with all of the gold pieces I had from the past - I found Prima Diamonds on this website and noticed that they buy gold! I was so excited to find out that it was actually worth something! When I go to the store, I was even more excited to see all of the lovely jewelry they had - I not only made money by selling my gold pieces, but was able to score a nice pair of diamond studs, nice size, nice quality and not to expensive.
Fabulous Diamonds – Prima Diamond, is owned by the Best Diamond dealer in the country. For years, they have supplied other retailers with their inventory, and lucky for you, they have now opened their own store front to allow the retail consumer to purchase fabulous diamonds and jewelry , competive to wholesale pricing.
Exactly What I Wanted! – This place was great all around. I was looking for some sort of used Rolex, and I was pointed to this great looking Rolex Submariner. I had done quite a bit of research online and other shops within the area and nothing came close to the quality or price of the one I got.
Great Value and Service – We wanted to upgrade the diamond in the engagement ring we bought 25 years ago. We explained what we were looking for from a price and quality standpoint and had shopped around Dallas looking for both information and value. Jim Kirsch not only found us the diamond we wanted at the price we could commit to but had it mounted and delivered it to us in time for our anniversary trip. We will certainly look to Prima Diamonds for all our jewelry needs in the future. Thanks Jim!!
Lucky to have a Customized Engagement Ring!!!! – My finacee bought my ring from Prima Diamond's - not only did he get an awesome stone, they were able to help him customize my engament ring so that it was unique and custom for me. Their diamonds are certified and gorgeous, Jim the owner was very helpful with helping my fiancee design my ring. We went back to get my wedding band and again a custom design was done! I love this place and can not wait for holiday presents, had my eye on a nice pair of diamond studs!!!!

The Gateway has Hold Fast anti-sway cradles that grip your bike frame at 3 different points - twice along the top bar and once along a downward bar, such as a seat post. This 3rd point of contact that is created with Thule's No-Sway Cage prevents not only sway, but also front-to-back movement and bike-to-bike contact. The cushioned cradles include reinforced rubber straps to secure the bikes in place. The cradles also include advanced grooves that accommodate bike cables.
The Gateway has narrowly spaced arms that make loading and unloading bikes hassle free. These arms are independently adjustable with the built-in Cinch Levers. All you have to do is flip the lever up, rotate the arm to the desired position, then flip the lever down to lock the arm in place. This enables you to carry bikes with unique frames, and it helps to keep your bikes level on the rack. An adapter bar may be required, however, for some women's, children's, and alternative bike frames. These levers also allow you to fold down the arms when the rack is not in use and to fold the rack flat for storage when it's not mounted on your vehicle.
While the FitDial system ensures that the body of the rack is correctly spaced on your vehicle, it is the 6 nylon straps that keep the rack anchored in place. Padded hooks on these extra-strong straps prevent scratches on your vehicle, and the straps tighten in place with easy-to-use, backpack-style cinches. Holder with hook-and-loop tabs are included to bind up the excess strap length when the rack is mounted. Simply wrap the holders around the straps to help protect your vehicle from flapping straps.
The Gateway includes molded rubber pads on the body to ensure that your vehicle is protected at all contact points with the rack. These pads prevent the rack from scratching and abrading your vehicle's paint.
To lock your bikes to the rack, you can add a Thule cable lock (TH538 - sold separately). This cable lock features a Thule One-Key lock core that can be swapped out to make all your Thule products keyed alike. A passive security trunk strap (TH533 - sold separately) is also available to lock your bike rack to your trunk. This strap is threaded through the frame of the rack and around your trunk lid, securing the rack to your vehicle when the trunk is closed and locked.

installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today well be demonstrating the Thule Gateway two bike carrier with adjustable arms, part number TH9006XT. This trunk mounted carrier transports up to two bicycles. It has hold fast cradles and a patented fit dial mounting system, making it very affordable yet having high dollar features. We will begin our test fit by setting up the bike rack according to the fit guide found within the instructions of the Gateway. With our bike rack set up we will place it on top of the deck lid and using the two top straps well hook it to the deck lid just behind the rear window. We will then go ahead and snug the nylon straps down just to help us hold the bike rack in place.
In each of the strap locations we will take one of the hook and loop straps. We will use these to tie up the excess nylon strap which will give us a nice, clean, finished look. We can then move down to our side and bottom strap where we will hook one end to the side here at the deck lid right next to the taillight and the other to the bottom of the deck lid, right above the rear bumper cover. We will then snug those down. We will then snug that strap down and move over to the other side, repeating the same procedure.
Now that we have all six attachment points in place we can go ahead and work our way around the nylon straps, tightening them down, securing our bike rack to the vehicle. Now that our bike rack is secured we will go ahead and wrap up the nylon straps and secure them back to themselves. We will now move out here to the arms. Each arm is independently adjustable. We will simply undo the cinch lever where we will then unscrew it which will allow us to move the arm.
When we get the arm into a suitable location for our vehicle, we can then tighten down the bolt and cinch the lever back down. We will do this on both sides, making sure that both arms are parallel with each other. Now that we have both arms out we can move onto our cradles. These hold fast cradles with advanced grooves and detachable anti-sway arms or no-sway cages will gently cushion the frames and accommodate cables for proper bike hold. They hold the bike in three points and prevent swaying as well as bike to bike contact.
The heavy duty reinforced straps maximize cradle hold strength. You will also notice that the cradles will rotate as well as move back and forth on the arms to allow bikes of various frame shapes. We will now go ahead and undo all the straps where we can then place our bike into the cradles and bring the straps around, securing the bike to the bike rack. For demonstration purposes, were going to go ahead and load our bike on the outermost cradles, although when loading your bikes, it is a good idea to start with the cradles closest to the vehicle and work your way out. We will now go ahead and show you the nylon strap that the bike rack comes with that we can use to further secure the bike to the bike rack, or to secure the wheels and tires, however the strap seems necessary. With that done, our bike is on the bike rack and our bike rack is secured to the vehicle. We will now go ahead and take it down the road and see how it performs. That completes our demonstration of the Thule Gateway two bike carrier, part number TH9006XT.

Bristol Bay Blog, Part 3: A Future for Salmon?
Editor's Note: This is the final installment in a three-part blog series on the Conservancy's recent research at Bristol Bay, conducted to provide a risk assessment of the proposed Pebble Mine.
Can one of the world's largest mines be built in the headwaters of the world's largest salmon fishery without disrupting the ecosystem?
That's a question that generates a lot of controversy for the Bristol Bay watershed.
"There is a lot of vilification and name calling, but we wanted to go past that and get the data," says Dave Albert, director of conservation science for The Nature Conservancy in Alaska.
The Nature Conservancy in Alaska commissioned an ecological risk assessment to improve understanding of baseline conditions near the Pebble deposit as well as potential risks such a mine could pose to salmon.
The baseline studies showed that juvenile salmon are ubiquitous in headwaters near the Pebble deposit, including documentation of more than 100 miles of previously unknown salmon streams. It also documented the purity of the water. "This is about the cleanest water in the world," says Albert. "It's not distilled water, but it's pretty darn close."
The ecological risk assessment used a cutting-edge stream modeling system to investigate potential effects of large-scale mining facilities including open pit mines, a tailings impoundment and waste rock dumps on stream headwaters.
The model results indicate potential for significant negative effects, including up to 60 percent reduction in stream flows near the pit and contamination from waste rock that could exceed Alaska water quality standards. The giant waste rock piles generated by mining would require active pumping and water treatment; if these systems failed, the levels of copper in the river could rapidly exceed lethal levels for salmon.
According to the researchers: "Our study shows that while some of the flow and water quality changes brought about by mining could be ameliorated by ambitious mitigation measures and water management plans, severe water quality effects could result from even a brief failure of these systems."
The proposed mine dwarfs all other mines in Alaska combined; because the ore exists in low concentrations preliminary designs developed by the mining company show the mine covering twenty square miles with a massive tailings impoundment. From preliminary information released by the company, this tailings pond would require perpetual mediation in an area known for active earthquakes.
"We haven't seen a detailed mine and water management plan, but it would be difficult to envision a project of this scale that does not require active management, basically forever, to avoid contamination," says Albert.

Energy Conservation
A five-college utilities study completed in Summer 2007 helped to provide an overview of each college's development and consumption pattern over the past twenty years. It highlighted their dynamic growth, helped establish a database and highlighted a problem in our ability to accurately measure consumption. A campus utilities audit is proposed and will further establish a database, identify projects to create reductions in energy and water consumption and provide guidance towards a framework for greater efficiencies in campus mechanical and other systems.
Between 2002 and 2005, the College experienced a steady increase in energy use. The exact cause is unknown. However, during this time, CMC increased its number of students, faculty and staff, implemented more campus technology and built more on campus square footage. The Roberts Environmental Center is investigating this trend and will attempt to understand how these factors relate to increased energy use and how the trend can be reversed.

Juan Sanchez is Senior Pastor of High Pointe Baptist Church in Austin, TX
Juan was born in Puerto Rico on July 29, 1965, and lived there until moving to central Florida with his family when he was almost eight years old. Though having grown up religious, Juan began to struggle with faith issues when high school friends introduced the gospel to him at the age of 16; however, he wrestled with the truth of the gospel for about a year and confessed faith in Christ in June of 1983.
After graduating high school, Juan enlisted in the United States Navy, where he received a Navy R.O.T.C. scholarship to the University of Florida with the intention of pursuing a commission as a naval officer. In his third semester of studies, however, Juan sensed a call to the gospel ministry and relinquished his scholarship. He completed his obligations to the Navy and returned to the University of Florida where he completed a Bachelor of Music degree (Music Education, 1994). In 1998, Juan moved to Louisville, Kentucky to attend the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (M. Div., 2000; Th.M., 2002; Ph. D. student in systematic theology, 2002-present) in preparation for ministry.
Juan has served local churches in Florida, Georgia and Indiana and in August of 2005, he accepted the call to become the preaching pastor at High Pointe Baptist Church in Austin, Texas. High Pointe is a multi-ethnic congregation with both a local and a global focus to see all peoples become whole-hearted followers of Jesus Christ.
Juan has been joyfully married to Jeanine since June 29, 1990, and they presently reside just outside of Austin, in Manor, Texas with their five daughters: Alexandra (1991), Hope Amanda (1995), Gabrielle (1997), Zoe (2000) and Maxey (2003).

21st-CenturyTechnology Helps Uncover 16TH-Century Mysteries
For Immediate Release
October 01, 2001
For decades art historians have speculated that 16th-century printmaker Hendrick Goltzius used the bronzes of sculptor Willem Danielsz. van Tetrode as models for his prints. Since little historical record remains, how do scholars find evidence of something that took place more than 400 years ago? By applying the latest technology in digital photography, curators at the Clark Art Institute have recently found new and compelling visual evidence that Goltzius took legs, arms, heads, torsos, and backs from different angles of Tetrode's statuettes and translated them into two-dimensions in his own work. These discoveries are highlighted in the new exhibition Goltzius and the Third Dimension, on view at the Clark through January 6. Another 21st-century technology, an interactive computer program, will help museum visitors see some of these same angles close-up and compare for themselves.
To examine the Tetrode sculptures and compare them with Goltzius's prints, Clark photographer Michael Agee, working with curator James A. Ganz, placed each of the three sculptures in the exhibition on a rotating platform. With a digital camera connected directly to a computer screen they were able to look at and manipulate the angle of viewing, instantly comparing the view on the screen to the print itself. The digital setup also allowed them to view close details, and to reverse or "flip" portions of the statues to see if they related to a print, as printmakers often flipped views when copying from another work of art. Agee also experimented with lighting angles on the sculpture to see if different shadows more closely matched certain prints.
"The visual evidence was always there, but it was less obvious to the naked eye," said Ganz. "As the images came up on the screen and Mike was able to get the angles just right, we began to see more and more instances that convinced us that Goltzius must have been looking at these Tetrode bronzes."
To give visitors the opportunity to get a good look for themselves, the gallery will include an interactive computer kiosk. Visitors will be able to view images of each sculpture. Clicking on a portion of the sculpture, such as a leg, will bring up a detail of that part next to the print that corresponds. The "matching" detail of the print then appears.
"By using the interactive program, visitors will be able to get close in a way they wouldn't otherwise be able to do with the actual works of art," said Ganz. "I hope they will use the program, then go back and look at the sculptures and prints themselves. They can compare for themselves and form their own opinion."
The interactive portion of the exhibition is also available on the Clark website, at http://www.clarkart.edu/exhibitions/goltzius/.
Goltzius and the Third Dimension marks the first opportunity for the public to see these bronzes and prints together. The exhibition features three statuettes by Tetrode: Hercules Pomarius, Nude Warrior/Deity, and Hercules and Antaeus. In comparing the bronzes with the prints, co-curators Ganz and Stephen Goddard, senior curator of prints at the Spencer Museum, University of Kansas, were able to visually confirm the relationships. For example, Tetrode's Hercules Pomarius corresponds to several different Goltzius prints, including The Great Hercules and pieces from The Roman Heroes. Two different figures in Goltzius's Metamorphoses seem to have originated in Tetrode's work: Mars appears to have legs from Hercules Pomarius and the torso of the Nude Warrior, while from the waist down Saturn resembles Hercules Pomarius seen from the back.
Goltzius and the Third Dimension was made possible through the loan of 33 prints and three bronzes from the Collection of the Hearn Family Trust. Organized by the Clark, the exhibition will travel to the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas (March 30-May 26). The accompanying catalogue features more than 70 illustrations and essays Goddard and Ganz.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free through May. For more information call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Scalping tickets toa football or basketball game? Happens all the time. Scalping tickets for a 30-kilometer train ride? Now, that's unusual.
Ah, but what a ride it was. The train is the fastest by far on the planet, and it literally flies while suspended and propelled by magnetic forces. Built in China by a trio of German companies and the Shanghai Maglev Transportation Development Co., it reaches 430 km/h (268 mi/h)—130 km/h faster than Japan's famous bullet train. And even as it goes faster than any commercial vehicle without wings, the Chinese train is smoother and quieter than Amtrak's wheel-on-rail Acela—the state of the art in the United States—which pokes along when it can at a maximum 240 km/h.
Could this be the dawning, at last, of the long-awaited age of magnetic-levitation ("maglev") trains? After many false starts and the completion of full-scale experimental maglev systems in Japan and Germany in the 1980s, maglev in China will finally start shuttling passengers in October in a reasonably large-scale, commercial system. The trains will run from downtown Shanghai's financial district to Pudong International Airport, making an 8-minute run that will shave about 40 minutes off the typical trip time in a taxi. With three five-car trains, each carrying as many as 574 passengers, and trains leaving every 10 minutes, the US $1.2 billion system could carry more than 10 million passengers a year.
The Shanghai line is the first of several maglev projects planned for later this decade [see "Selected Maglev Projects"]. They include:
- A 37-km Munich-to-airport link in Germany.
- A U.S. regional maglev for either Pittsburgh or Baltimore, finalists in a competition for funding by the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT's) Federal Railroad Administration (Washington, D.C.).
A 78-km Düsseldorf-to-Dortmund link in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, was cancelled only in late June because of a budget shortfall and political differences.
Another system was almost up and running, meant to carry students across the campus of Old Dominion University [see "Riding on Air in Virginia," IEEE Spectrum, October 2002, pp. 20-21]. But following its shakeout on a test guideway, the 1000-meter-long monorail, with a top speed of 64 km/h, provided a much bumpier ride on the real thing than expected. It sits unfinished, awaiting funds for further tweaking.
Passenger travel will not be the only beneficiary of maglev technology. NASA is considering it for assisting the launch of space vehicles, and the U.S. Navy wants it for catapulting its planes from the decks of aircraft carriers [see "Magnetic Takeoffs"].
